Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of vintage charm and modern convenience. The rooms are elegantly decorated with antique furniture and feature contemporary walk-in showers, providing a unique ambiance. The service is top-notch with accommodating staff, although the pricing may lean towards the higher end. The location is ideal for events and offers easy access to attractions. The dining experience is outstanding, with exceptional service and delightful views. Facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall comfort of the stay.
The hotel is tucked away in the rear garden, offering a cozy and quiet stay. The rooms were clean, but the dated decor could use some updating, especially the small en suite shower. The service was welcoming and helpful, provided by a friendly family team. The location is charming, surrounded by heritage sites and dining options. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a limited but satisfying selection. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some room for improvement in modernization.
Despite the weather typical of British Autumn, my stay at this hotel was delightful. The smallness of the bedroom was overshadowed by the good size, lovely en suite facility, and perfect idyllic garden setting. I would definitely recommend and return for another stay.
